I have to chime in here :D

If you are planning on building a search engine to "beat" google, is it wise to announce such a plan from a GMail account ?

Jason - did you just let the cat out of the bag ?

P.S.  While everyone here (including me) has enjoyed a bit of humor on this topic, if there is something that we can actually help you with, just give us some more details and we will see what we can do.

Possibly........

Except the words that say "beat google's search engine" seems to imply some
type of competition as opposed to "work better than google in our
environment".

Similarly "working on the web crawling aspects" implies something outside of
their own intranet.

Just a thought.

perhaps we all just misunderstand what he is trying to do exactly.
maybe they want to do better than google and indexing their one
website and not the entire web?

Just because I have an opinion on this........

1. They are where they are because they took a fresh approach instead of
improving on something that someone else did - EXTREME INNOVATION
2. They have hundreds of people working on the technology and they have
built their own computer arrays out of PC's with specialised operating
system code - PEOPLE & TECHNOLGY
3. They are widely used above most other search engines - so maybe
        
knocking
    
the ones below Google out of their positions first will provide a plan -
BUSINESS/IMPLEMENATION PLAN

Oh - and I want 51% of your company for the above tips.

Hi,

My company wants me to build a web search engine to beat google's
          
search.
    
Should I use CFCs for this project or are they too slow? Also can anyone
point me to an article that talks about how google works. I'd like to
        
start
    
with what they've done and improve upon it.
        
I've already completed the first half of the project (the "front-end"
          
search page). I just need the "backend" that performs the actual
        
searching.
    
My other team member is working on the web crawling aspects.
        
Thanks in advance,

Jason
